When looking for Montgomery
lodging for your Alabama vacation, there are plenty of hotels to choose from.
As is true across the state, the Montgomery hotels are relatively well-priced,
so you shouldn't have to break the bank even if you want an upscale lodging
experience. If a cheap hotel in Montgomery is all that you're after, you'll
do well to stay at any number of area establishments. Most of the discount Montgomery
lodging choices can easily be found off of the city's main interstate exits,
but if you want to be downtown, there are some nice options there as well. The
downtown Montgomery hotels are limited in number, however, so it's a good idea
to book ahead if you plan to stay at one of them during your visit. At any rate,
the following recommendations should help you find your ideal accommodation
in Montgomery.

When it's an upscale Montgomery lodging experience that you fancy, booking your stay at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel and Spa is a good way to go. One of the newer downtown Montgomery hotels, the Renaissance is a dazzling establishment that offers proximity to some of the best Montgomery attractions. When you're not out enjoying the downtown attractions, spending time at the Renaissance should prove enjoyable itself. In addition to 103,000 square feet of meeting space, the Renaissance also boasts a Performing Arts Centre, a Convention Center, and a spa, so there's plenty to do during your down time. In addition to these attributes, the hotel also features a fun hotel bar, an onsite restaurant, and an attractive fitness center where you can fit in workouts as you please. If working out isn't your idea of a fun vacation activity, hanging out by the hotel's heated outdoor pool is always an option. While there's plenty to enjoy outside of the rooms at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel and Spa, the rooms themselves have a lot to offer as well. In addition to being technologically-advanced, the rooms and suites here are quite comfortable. Among the amenities that guests will enjoy include cable TV, air conditioning, premium bedding, a safe, individual climate control, a CD player, and a bathrobe. Also included are basics like a coffee maker, a hair dryer, and an iron and ironing board. In-room internet access is available for an extra fee if you want to plan fun Alabama tours, keep in touch with friends via email, and things the like.

Also relatively new, the Embassy Suites Hotel Montgomery is another great option for those who are seeking upscale Montgomery lodging in the downtown area. Not only does this hotel offer comfortable rooms, but it also boasts a great location that has you within steps of Montgomery's visitor center. Should you be without a car, the hotel is also very close to a trolley stop, so getting around downtown shouldn't be an issue. You can walk to the Riverfront part of town with ease when you stay here, and should you need to get to the airport to catch a flight, the hotel offers free airport shuttle service. Unlike the Renaissance, the Embassy Suites Hotel Montgomery does not boast a spa, but it's pretty keen on other amenities and services. Among the hotel facilities are a redeveloped fitness room, 15,000 square feet of meeting space, a pool, and a casual café where you can enjoy some delicious Southern cuisine. The restaurant is only open for lunch and dinner, but since you'll enjoy a daily complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast, you won't have to worry about starting your day off on the right foot. As for the rooms at this upscale, yet affordable Montgomery lodging, they are all suites, so you will enjoy a bit of extra space. In addition to a cozy bed, each suite also features a sofabed sleeper, an adjustable thermostat, a microwave, a refrigerator, a complimentary weekday paper, cable TV, and an MP3-compatible clock radio. Other in-room amenities include a hair dryer, an iron and ironing board, and high-speed internet access.

As mentioned, those seeking a cheap hotel in Montgomery will have plenty of options. Cheap Alabama hotels abound, and it's certainly no different here. As such, it can be hard to pick one. Among the best choices for a cheap hotel in Montgomery is the Drury Inn and Suites Hotel, which has you less than ten miles from the Alabama State Capitol Building. While not downtown, the Drury Inn still enjoys a good location, as you're just minutes from shopping, area restaurants, and Interstate 85. In addition to a friendly staff, the Drury Inn and Suites Hotel also boasts clean and comfortable rooms that are hard to beat for the price, especially when you consider that a daily breakfast and high-speed internet access won't cost extra. For those without a laptop, the Drury Inn offers two computers that guests are free to use. Computer availability, internet access, and a daily breakfast aren't all that's included in the agreeable rates here. Guests can also enjoy the complimentary evening receptions, and free soda and popcorn are on offer in the evenings. While the decor of the rooms at this cheap hotel in Montgomery leaves a bit to be desired, you will enjoy a fair range of in-room amenities, including cable TV, a free hour of long distance phone calls, free coffee service, a microwave, a refrigerator, a hair dryer, and an iron and ironing board. Outside of the rooms, the hotel features meeting and banquet rooms, an indoor/outdoor swimming pool, a Whirlpool hot tub, and free parking spaces for those who either rented a car or drove into town. While the Drury Inn and Suites Hotel is an excellent Montgomery lodging choice, those looking for a relatively cheap hotel downtown might prefer the Capitol Inn, which is in the heart of the city.

When it's a break from the more traditional hotels that you are seeking, the Red Bluff Cottage Bed and Breakfast is worth considering. This is especially true for couples who are enjoying a romantic Alabama vacation. In addition to four cozy rooms and a great pair of innkeepers, the Red Bluff Cottage B&B also boasts a nice location overlooking the Alabama River. You're close to all the downtown attractions when staying here, including Old Alabama Town and the First White House of the Confederacy, which helps to make the hotel even more attractive. As for the rooms, they range in price, so you can choose accordingly when booking. The Great Gatsby/Steamer Trunk Treasures Suite is the most exclusive, but the other guest units hardly disappoint either. Each room here boasts a private bathroom, antique decorations, impressive furniture, and free internet access. Fresh flowers and candy are also part of the in-room amenities, as are deluxe linens, bathrobes, bath products, and a hair dryer. As is to be expected at a bed and breakfast, the Red Bluff includes a wonderful complimentary breakfast in its rates, which helps to make the relatively high prices worth it. When you find yourself with down time to burn, hanging out in the Red Bluff Cottage's common area is always an option, but since there are so many fun things to do in Alabama, you might not find yourself with too much time to spare. There are books, table games, cable TV, a DVD player, and a VCR in the common room, so you can easily keep busy when you're not out and about exploring the area.
